HP ELOQUENCE A.05.20 - patch 9809090

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is an experimental patch for the eloqcore program as released 
with A.05.20. It should usually not be used unless instructed
otherwise.


Fixed problems:
---------------

* Enlarging the variables memory arena so ~256k of variable
  memory is available for HP Eloquence programs. This is intended
  as a workaround to handle variable overflows caused by Y2K 
  application program changes.
  The previous limit was ~192k (refer to the MEMSIZ function).
  
* Include debugging hooks for locating the cause of a rare -900 db 
  status. Some critical variables are now checked at eol time to 
  detect a possible corruption. If a corruption is detected,
  eloqcore will terminate with a core dump. Due to this the
  executable has not been stripped (this does only affect the 
  size of the disk image).

  
Patch PE52-9807080
------------------

* The SLEEP statement tried to read stdin when running background.
  This may cause the termination of the program with the message
  eloqcore: unexpected EOF during input redirection


Patch PE52-9806100
------------------

* The WAIT statement could hang.

* This version of eloqcore is linked dynamically. This avoids
  compatibility problems with HP-UX 11.0 locales and use the 
  installed libc and curses libraries.
